About Catering & Private Dining
Bringing the flavours of my childhood straight to your table - that's what I do best. I learned cooking from my Amma, and I've stuck to those roots, but added a pinch of my own instincts too. This isn't just food; it's nostalgia, stories, and a little bit of Kerala in every bite.
What I Cook
- Authentic Mallu Syrian Christian dishes, from Beef Ullarthu (slow-roasted beef) to wedding-worthy Prawn Mango Curry
- Continental comfort food like Shepherd's Pie and creamy pastas, because that's what I grew up with too
- All spices come from Wayanad, and Amma still does the chilli and coriander powder the old way - wash, sun-dry, powder
- Appam batter made from scratch, mortar and pestle for masalas if time allows
Menu Highlights
- Must-try: Cutlets (beef, mutton, prawn, fish, veg), perfect for snacking
- Live appam station catering at your home, paired with my mutton stew
- Secret tender coconut pudding - light but packs a punch
- Rich curries and fresh sides, all made with that homemade touch
For Every Gathering
- Private dinners to big celebrations (3 to 200 people), even chai parties with pazham pori and snacks
- Kerala private chef experience for intimate weddings, festival feasts like Onam Sadhya, or even chilled-out high-tea
- Full setup, service, and cleanup - so you can relax and enjoy
We chat, plan the menu together (Malayalam or English, up to you - njan oru chill aanu, I’m easy), and on the day, you just be a guest at your own party. Food is all about connection, and I love making that happen, one meal at a time.

My Story
Once, I was the kid who refused carbs—no rice, no appam, nothing. Amma would pack me perfect appams and I never even knew how lucky I was. Food was always the heart of our family—think holidays with cousins, the kitchen full of laughter and smells I can still taste. Jewellery? Sarees? Nah, food is my real inheritance. Started Travancore Tasties in 2015, thanks to my folks pushing me. Now I get to share my childhood—nostalgia on a plate, straight to your home.
My Work

Festive & Continental Touch - Christmas menus with Shepherd’s Pie, bread pudding, plus all our traditional Kerala dishes.
Homemade, Old-School Style - Fresh appam batter, homemade spice blends, sun-dried chillies—everything made the way my Amma taught me.
